Access Self-Storage

Access Storage has installed over 13,000 ft2 (1,300 m2) of SolarWall® systems on multiple storage buildings. Their Heart Lake facility in the City of Brampton features their largest SolarWall system and is projected to displace over 475 GJ of conventional energy each and every year.

Background

Access Storage has been providing the Greater Toronto
Area with high quality, flexible, modern and secure storage
facilities since 1998. Access Storage is a full service
moving and storage solutions company providing storage
services for both private and commercial clients, using the
highest-quality products and services at an affordable
price. Like many companies, they were concerned with
keeping their operating costs manageable to offer the
best possible pricing for their customers. This objective
was a driving force behind the installation of multiple SolarWall®
air heating systems on two of their new storage
facilities in Ontario. As a result of this initiative, their new
John Street facility in Mississauga and their Heart Lake
facility in Brampton have been able to reduce both their
overhead heating costs and their ecological footprint.

Solution

Access Storage matched their SolarWall®
systems with
one of their corporate colors; Royale Blue. The technology
was seamlessly integrated into the design of both
buildings, resulting in a uniform appearance. For both locations
there were large unobstructed areas available on
the southeast and southwest exterior walls, which was
ideal for SolarWall®
integration.
Storage facilities are excellent candidates for the SolarWall®
technology, since it is a fresh air heater and maintaining
a continuous supply of ventilation air is important
within these facilities, as they typically house a wide range
of belongings for their clients.
